2 – 4 September
Approximately 151,000 people in the world have died today. That is about 105 every minute. With each new day, we are subtly or more substantially different to the person we were yesterday. Still many of us are like that joke that states, “I’m too busy to die”. We may put off making peace with family members or making a will, or thinking about and discussing with our family and friends the arrangements we want around our final days and after.
Friends may get a terminal diagnosis and we don’t know what to say or how to help. We want to visit, but keep putting it off.
This weekend will be provide an opportunity, in a supportive natural environment, to begin explore reactions to our constant companion; death. With the use meditation, drawing, and guided visualizations we will visit our conscious and unconscious images and meanings of death and dying to enable us be more open to and accepting of our death and those of others.
Costs
Each workshop will cost $175 ($150 if registered and paid in full more than 7 days before the workshop starts). This is brilliant value as it includes accomodation, food and a cook (Jenny Lomas).
